{"product_id":"the-hellenistic-mysteries-christianity-adrian-anderson-9780994160201","title":"The Hellenistic Mysteries \u0026 Christianity","description":"To read The Hellenistic Mysteries \u0026amp; Christianity is a profound experience, it bridges the gap between ancient initiatory Mysteries and a deeper view of Christianity. It provides evidence that the Gospel writers themselves viewed the Crucifixion and Resurrection of Christ, events which occurred over three-days, as a parallel to the three-day initiation process of the Mysteries, but a process through which a cosmic Christ-force became linked to the human soul and the Earth's soul. * An overview of the Hellenistic Mysteries and their leading teachers * The Prologue to the Odyssey: a new translation shows its long-hidden secret at last * The deeper meaning of Homer's \"Cave of the Nymphs\" * A translation of Porphyry's 'Hymn to Apollo' which reveals its esoteric depth * The sign of Jonah and the bard Taliesin: what this legend really means * The \"Mystery\" of Golgotha \u0026amp; the sun god * The Harrowing of Hades \u0026amp; the Odes of Solomon * Resolving the problem of 'the Cry from the Cross': was Jesus forsaken or glorified? * A Christian Mystery: the sun god \u0026amp; a new translation of passages from Origenes * \"Eternal life\" The gift of Christ, and the goal of the Mysteries too? * Evidence for a solar aspect to Christ in the Gospels themselves * The Church against the Mysteries: extracts from the legend of Cyprian \u0026amp; Justina * A new assessment tool for New Testament studies * Appendix: critiquing Rudolf Steiner's interpretation of \"...he who lifts up his heel against me\" (St. John;13:18) as evidence for a cosmic Christ-force in the Earth.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Adrian Anderson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0994160208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780994160201\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Threshold Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 164\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.61h x 6.69w x 0.35d","brand":"Adrian Anderson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43927187521791,"sku":"9780994160201","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_57a6f8b6-4f6d-4cf8-a746-8e3a6aaf62e8.jpg?v=1681087360","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-hellenistic-mysteries-christianity-adrian-anderson-9780994160201","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
